About the Girls On The Run Greater Boston Fall Season Celebratory 5K
This is the Girls on the Run fall season celebration, held on Boston Common. The course is a 5K through the Common, and the morning is built around the girls who have been training all season. The atmosphere comes from that: teams arriving together, coaches nearby, families watching. It is not a solo race-day experience.
Packet pickup runs the afternoons before the race at a couple of sporting goods stores in the suburbs, which saves time at the Common. If you miss early pickup, a registration tent opens at the Common before the pre-race program begins. Girls on the Run participants get their bibs directly from their coaches on race day.
